[Xen-API] update needed for qla4xxx driver on xcp1.0beta

[Nomen Nescio <info@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all,

FYI, it seems there is a bug in the qla4xxx driver shipped with XCP1.0beta 
(module version 5.02.03.00.05.07-c2). I tested it on an IBM x3650 with a 
QLE4062C card and found the device would keep resetting itself, as shown here 
in the dmesg:

etcetera...

Upgrading the module to v5.02.07.02.05.06-c0 resolved this issue.

Cheers,
